R200 2.5 - 3.0 ratio diff

[jamo240]

Hey chaps

 

I was talking to someone the other day on here about tall ratio gear sets for R200's (can't remember who though!), and said I would speak to Jeff at McNamara's about it.

 

Well, I did, and he said that the R200 will take a Holden WB era Salisbury gear set as the hypoid geometry is effectively the same! In order to do it, you have to make a sleeve that picks up the (shorter) Holden spline location (which is now inside the diff case, ahead of the tapered pinion bearings, but behind the front ball bearing), and pokes out the front of the pinion oil seal to bolt the flange to. Jeff thinks he could do it, and the tallest ratio in that gear set is 2.6:1.

 

If you're interested in a moon shot ratio, give Jeff at McNamara's a call (Levanswell Rd, Moorabin).
